Chapter 80: Ding Si

Seeing the red light in the golden man's eyes shooting towards the middle of the Tongtian Palace, we knew that now we had finally reached the heart of this place.

We already know that the secret hidden on the plaque is the word Bingshen, which means that we have to trigger all the mechanisms in these two places before we can have the next harvest.

And the south we are in now is nothing more than C in the word C.

For this reason, we were only slightly surprised after seeing the change in the Jin people, and then we did not hesitate, but went straight to the southwest of the door with the white tiger pattern engraved on it, and the Shen character was written next to the pattern.

Without saying a word, we soon arrived at this door in the southwest direction, and the next thing we did was to repeat the action here until my blood dripped into the depression of the trigger mechanism, and everyone stepped aside to wait for the rest of the situation.

As we had guessed, after sensing my blood, a few traces of red appeared on this golden statue, and the red light in his eyes also pointed to the center of Tongtian Palace, which seemed to be pointing to the same place as the light in the eyes of the previous golden statue.

Seeing this scene, we didn't have time to stop longer, but went straight to the center of the Tongtian Palace, wondering where and what kind of changes had happened.

But when we arrived, we couldn't help but feel surprised when we saw the calm in front of us.

In the center of Tongtian Palace is a flat ground, which is also paved with Qin bricks, but the ornamentation on it is different from the landscape, flowers and birds elsewhere but the intersection of double dragons, this ornament is extremely noble in the Qin Dynasty, and it is a decoration that only the ancestral dragon himself can use.

And now, we see that on the ground where the two dragons meet, two red rays of light come from afar, and they converge here to form a point, which looks a little mysterious.

But we didn't find anything else.

"That's it?"

Finding that things were not developing in the direction we had hoped, Shen Lang couldn't help but ask.

"Is there something wrong with our guess?"

"No, it won't."

Chun Ting shook his head, although his expression was equally puzzled, the tone in his mouth was unquestionable.

"Since Han Chuan's blood was used to trigger those two mechanisms, it proves that this must be a secret here, but we may have missed something."

"Long live the first year of the ......"

Qi Zhi, who was only in charge of the lovely Qi Zhi all the way, suddenly thought about it at this time, took my hand and asked herself.

"Brother Chuan, if I'm not mistaken, you just said that this era name was used for a very short time, and then it was replaced by Wu Zetian?"

Although I don't know why Qi Zhi asked such a question at this moment, it was rare to hear her express her opinion, so I still patiently watched her answer.

"That's right, Wu Zetian changed to Yuan Wansui Tongtian in March of the first year of Long Live Dengfeng, and in September of the second year of Long Live Tongtian, he changed to Yuan Shengong, and the use of this era name is extremely short, about a year and a half."

Qi Zhi was even more puzzled when she heard my answer, and looked at the ground in front of her and muttered to herself in confusion.

"If this era name is only used for one year, then why should it be called the first year?"

I was slightly stunned when I heard what Qi Zhi said, and there was some truth in the question she asked.

The so-called first year refers to the first year, and if this era name is only used for one year, then this year is both the first year and the last year, and it really does not have the meaning of being called the first year. Qiqi Chinese Network

Could it be that there is some other hidden meaning to this first year?

At this time, Niu Kelian, who heard Qi Zhi's doubts, realized something, and watched us say his guess.

"What if this first year does not refer to the first year, but to the beginning?"

Shen Lang heard Niu Kelian's question and knew that he might have his own thoughts, so he hurriedly urged him.

"Start? What starts? Ke Lian, what do you think of? ”

Looking at Shen Lang's anxious appearance, Niu Kelian did not deliberately delay, but spoke directly.

"Time can be specific to every minute and second, and only one year on this plaque cannot be so fine, but if this first year is not the beginning of the year but the beginning of the day, then can we think that what is left on this plaque is the year of long live Tongtian, the day when something began?"

Looking at our still confused eyes, Niu Kelian paused, and slowly recited from his mouth the record of Wu Zetian's change of the Long Live Tongtian year name.

"Ding Si, Xinming Tangcheng, 294 feet high, 300 feet square, the scale rate is smaller than the old, on the gold coated iron phoenix, two zhang high, after being damaged by the wind, more copper fire beads, the dragons hold it, called Tongtian Palace, pardon the world, long live the Yuan Tongtian."

"Ding Si, Ding Si!"

Hearing the record in Niu Kelian's mouth, Qi Zhi shouted with excitement on her face.

"I see, this first year does not refer to the first year of Banzai Tongtian, but to a date, that is, the day when Tongtian Palace was completed!"

Hearing Qi Zhi's excited voice, we understood why she was so excited after a little thought.

According to her thoughts, the secret on this plaque can actually be divided into two parts.

The first is the first half of the long live Tongtian, through some exploration, we finally thought of converting the two ways of chronology with each other, and then got the hidden word Bingshen from it, which is what we have gained so far.

And the second is the first year of the second half.

Qi Zhi is right, the use of the era name is very short, if the construction people want to hint at the word Bingshen, they can only leave the word Long Live Tongtian, and there is no need for the word "first year" added to the snake.

And the reason why there are these two words is actually another clue hidden.

Cadres can not only be used to chronicle the year, in ancient times, people used the year, month, day, and time, all of which are inseparable from the stem branch.

Therefore, here, the first year on the plaque does not refer to the first year of Banzai Tongtian, but the day when the Tongtian Palace was built, which is the day of Ding Si mentioned in the record recited by Niu Kelian.

Bingshen year, Ding Si day, combining the two is the complete secret in Tongtian Palace!

Although Shen Lang hadn't thought of this before, he remembered my previous introduction to the Twelve Heavenly Generals, and after hearing Ding Siri's words, he spat out without thinking.

"Ding is the heavenly stem, Si is the earthly branch, although the two are different, but if it is used in the twelve heavenly generals, it represents the same heavenly general, that is, the terrifying fierce god beetle snake located in the southeast!"

What Shen Lang said is right, although Ding and Si are one of the heavenly stems and the other of the earthly branches, they represent the same heavenly general when used here.

It seems that the southeast where these two points together is the direction we will explore next.
